create database hibernatetutorial;

Open hibernate.cfg.xml file and change the database access username and password if it is different.

<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/hibernatetutorial</property>

<property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>


Now everything is set and you can run the example code.
